Chapter 128 The Dog Emperor is Still Too Stingy!
[How can a king of a country eavesdrop on someone else's affairs? ]
Luo Xueqing complained in her heart in annoyance.
Concubine Xi also followed her gaze and looked at the hollow mahogany window three meters away.
I actually caught a glimpse of a bright yellow corner of clothes.
Your Majesty, when did it become like this——
【How disgusting! 】
[Hehe, if you dare to eavesdrop on my affairs... you will have to pay the price! ]
"Sister Xueqing?"
"Shh!" Luo Xueqing turned towards Concubine Xi and shook her head frantically.
Concubine Xi smiled helplessly and shut her mouth obediently.
Luo Xueqing suddenly crouched down and tiptoed to the window, and suddenly opened it.
Bang!
Eunuch Xia, who was unable to avoid it, was hit on the head by the window frame and turned red!
But Emperor Jingyan was unharmed.
[What a pity~ I thought I could beat the dog emperor up! ]
Luo Xueqing's heart was filled with loss.
His face was filled with ecstasy. "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xia? Why are you here?"
[He didn't go through the main door but through the window! He is either a thief or a flower thief! ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, the dog emperor is really getting more and more shameless! ]
As Luo Xueqing kept chirping in her heart, Di Jingyan's expression became more and more ugly.
"Your Majesty, your servant greets you!" Concubine Xi hurried forward, blocking Di Jingyan's gaze from Luo Xueqing.
"Your Majesty? Eunuch Xia, are you playing hide-and-seek?" Luo Xueqing suddenly poked half of her head out from behind Concubine Xi and asked with a smile, "Sister Concubine Xi and I want to join in too!"
Her face was filled with a bright and warm smile.
Di Jingyan's expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright.
This woman can always easily control his emotions.
[What kind of expression is this, Dog Emperor? ]
[Why do you look constipated? ? ? ]
Di Jingyan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and looked at her with complicated and suspicious eyes.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you be in the morning court at this time?" Concubine Xi calmly protected Luo Xueqing behind her, frowned slightly, and asked in a soft voice.
"I came out to get some fresh air."
Di Jingyan waved his hand, obviously unwilling to talk about it further.
Those ministers always preach about rules, and his ears are almost callused from it.
So, he just left.
However, Di Jingyan still couldn’t figure out why he had come to Chengqian Palace again for some unknown reason.
Moreover, whenever he felt depressed, he seemed to feel better as long as he saw Luo Xueqing's smiling face.
[Xiao Wuzi, what are those court officials arguing about? ]
[The court officials are divided into two groups. The group headed by the Censorate is begging Emperor Jingyan to beat you to death! The other group is determined to protect the host! ]
Luo Xueqing couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Is she so important now?
The ministers in the court actually started arguing over her!
Well, she has made it!
Di Jingyan looked at her proud little expression and suddenly a bold decision flashed through his mind.
Perhaps, Luo Xueqing herself is the stone that breaks the deadlock?
She is a double-edged sword. If used properly, there may be unexpected gains!
The more Di Jingyan thought about it, the more he thought this was feasible.
[Why did the dog emperor suddenly laugh so evilly? ]
[There is danger! ]
The alarm in my mind suddenly sounded a signal!
Just when Luo Xueqing wanted to pretend to faint, Di Jingyan grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms!
"My dear, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"His Majesty?"
[Just talk about the matter, why bother to make a move? 】
Luo Xueqing pouted inwardly but had a shy look on her face.
Di Jingyan took a deep breath to suppress the strong feeling of discomfort!
After a while.
After hearing the Dog Emperor's plan, Luo Xueqing's eyes sparkled with excitement!
"Your Majesty, are you serious? Do you really want to make me a concubine?"
"A gentleman's word is as good as a whip." Di Jingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her with a hint of smile in his eyes, "What's more, I am the emperor, and my words are as good as gold."
"Then Your Majesty will also give me a salary, right?"
"Ah."
Seeing how excited the two of them were, Concubine Xi couldn't help but cough twice.
She subconsciously protected Luo Xueqing behind her, and her gentle tone was full of worry, "Your Majesty, Sister Xueqing, I think this matter is inappropriate."
"I heard that many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with Sister Xueqing. If Your Majesty promotes Sister Xueqing to a female official at this critical juncture, wouldn't it push Sister Xueqing to the forefront?"
Concubine Xi gently held Luo Xueqing's hand and shook her head anxiously, "Sister Xueqing, being a female official is not as simple as you think! You will face many doubts and even some unwarranted slander."
"Sister Xi Fei, I'm not afraid!"
[If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight! 】
[Besides, I am not a pushover! ]
【As for those court officials... hehehe】
[If you mess with her, you might end up dead or alive~ hehehe! ]
The more Luo Xueqing thought about it, the more excited she felt!
[Emperor Jingyan's harem is not rich, there are too few concubines, there is nothing to eat! ]
[But the previous dynasty was different! ]
[Civil and military officials! More people means more melons! More melons means your health points will increase rapidly! ]
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go to court tomorrow?" Luo Xueqing looked at Di Jingyan impatiently and asked with a smile, "By the way, can I eat melon seeds during court?"
"Yes." Di Jingyan agreed readily.
He thought the woman would reject his proposal in order to sleep in.
I didn't expect that she would agree so readily.
"Someone from the Shanggong Bureau will come to Chengqian Palace later to take measurements for my beloved concubine." Emperor Jingyan looked at her and said softly, "My beloved concubine is the first female official in Xixia. I will make an exception and grant you the title of fourth rank."
"Only the fourth rank???"
Luo Xueqing shook her head in extreme disappointment.
[The dog emperor is still a bit stingy! ]
"Empress Yu, my dynasty has nine ranks and eighteen grades of officials, and the fourth rank is already very high." Eunuch Xia, who had been rubbing his forehead, couldn't help but speak up, "In addition, the annual salary of a fourth rank official is two thousand taels, and the grain is three hundred shi."
"Two thousand taels?" Luo Xueqing couldn't help curling her lips and said, "Converted into a monthly salary, it's only a little over one hundred and sixty taels a month!"
[No wonder the court officials were corrupt and accepted bribes in private! ]
[How can such a small monthly salary be enough? ]
[There are many people in the palace...]
[Sure enough, no matter what dynasty it is, workers are always the most pitiful~]
[I heard that when those ministers entered the palace to attend court, the sun had not yet risen! ]
[I get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, work harder than an ox, and eat worse than a pig! ]
[…Not worth it! Not worth it!]
Luo Xueqing thought about it seriously and finally shook her head.
"Your Majesty, I have thought about it and decided to forget it."
